I bought a Apexi BOV on ebay for cheep it came with a nissan 300Z adapter, rather then buying or getting someone to make me the adapter for my car I was thinking of just using some barbed fittings tube to reduce the pipe on the BOV to the size tupe thats already on the car for the stock BOV...My question is do you think ill run into any problems with this and how hot does the BOV piping/Tubing, will it melt the plastic barbed fitting???
Thanks alot

 

Nah, it doesnt get that hot to melt stuff, unless ur heat shield is off or you have a bigger turbo then stock. You should be fine

 

if it plastic,most likely

go and get a brass fitting,if you can finde one that fits

 

yeah i dont know if ill be able to find brass, i went to all the auto parts stores and ace hardware and the best i could come up with was scedual 80 1" female threaded coupler and screw in a barbed fitting to each side. I have to go from 1 1/4" to 3/4".

 

I got the BOV installed but there no sound.....I havent tried adjusting it yet, im at work and am limited to how much i can work on it...coule the problem be that theres a longer bigger pipe???? its about 1 foot of pipe, like the BOV is right next to the intake...ill post a pic.

 

It could be the bov is set to strong. Did you take it for a drive, or are you revving in neutral? If in neutral you have to really rev it to create positive atmospherical pressure.

 

I drove it and put it under boost.

 

sounds like its set to a very strong setting. My turboxs can do this by putting in ss washers in the chamber. With none it will open at 5" of HG! With 4 it will open at 6psi, anything under it stays shut.

 

heres a pic ill try and adjust it in a lil bit

 

Ok i loosened it up all the way and now i can hear it but its still not loud at all its louder then the stock but its not very loud at all, how loud are APEXI BOV's???

 

good it doesn't need to be that loud anyways! it just needs to get the job done. Plus I'm sure the preasure isn't as high down there compared to near the compressor.

 

i know but i want one a lil loud
